My first programming language is JavaScript back when it only lived in the browser. The compile target of the browser is, and always has been, the DOM. The DOM is a tree model. When I learned to appreciate that in my first year of programming everything became simple. Even before JavaScript became fast you could do most things with relatively high performance easily cross browser once you achieved that solid foundation. No frameworks, no unnecessary abstraction libraries for vanity, no bullshit.
